Italy Born 1985 Dedé Arte Profumata

Synesthetic, nature-rooted compositions shaped by close observation of scent, colour, and memory; she explicitly describes perfume as the common thread she wanted to find, and her work as 'perfumed stories'.

About

Denise Meles was born in La Spezia, Italy, in May 1985 and grew up in the South Tyrolean mountains, where she describes developing an early sensory awareness and a synesthetic way of perceiving smell, words, numbers, and colours. She studied at art school until the fourth year, later graduated in languages after a break, and now creates perfume independently while living in a small seaside village with her partner and parrots.
